A marked improvement for our mixed bunch of lads yesterday. The fishing, like it sometimes does, came alive with fish showing pretty much everywhere we went.
The first spot we visited fished the best with the lads taking around 50 fish between them by lunchtime.
Again, no big fish but Cod to just over 7lbs and Ling to over 8lbs.
A happy bunch enjoying the good fishing and great weather.
Cheers and keep a tight line!

Another cracking day weather wise yesterday for the lads, however the fishing was a little slower for us.
We ran back to the same areas as the previous day but somehow something had changed. The fish were definitely still there but not feeding as avidly.
We persevered though and managed to drag a few aboard.
As the tides start easing for us now over the next week I am hoping that the more inshore marks will start producing again. Fingers crossed.
Cheers

A perfect day for a cruise yesterday with the tides still on the large side.
We sailed a little earlier at 6.0am so as to arrive at our marks an hour before slack water.
From the off we were knocking the fish out and the lads picked steadily for 2-3 hours.
As the tide increased on the ebb the fishing slowed a lot and we were just picking the odd fish up.
Baited Hokkai rigs probably fished best on the day but I personally had 7 Cod fair and square on the Shad, indicating the water is nice and clear offshore.
All in all another cracking day on the water.
Bryan Stanton taking the best bag with 12 himself.
Fish to 7.5 lbs.
Cheers

Nice to get back to sea yesterday after a short break away.
Our mixed group travelled from all corners to fish with us, with lads from as far afield as Birmingham.
The day started slow on a couple of offshore wrecks with just 5 fish being caught so we ran back to the ground on the 9 mile where a mate of mine was finding a few.
We managed to pick away until slack water which saved the day. Mostly Codling around the 3 lb mark with an “odd” slightly better one here and there.
Fabulous flat calm weather for the lads making the day a pleasure. Best Codling of the day 7lb 5oz. Didn’t get the lads name.
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

A great day on the water yesterday with a cracking mixed group of regulars.
Cracking weather and banter throughout the day and some excellent fishing on the first wreck we touched on.
50 plus fish boated by lunchtime by the lads.
Pete Tamms from Leeds taking the best of the day, a reasonable Ling just over 9lbs.
Tarron Spurr taking the best Cod of the day at 8lb 14oz.
A great day enjoyed by all.
Great signs showing now.
Get your places booked!

With the tides running strong on a 5.7m we chose to do some Uptiding yesterday.
We used the tide and ran a few miles to the North of the harbour to some inshore ground.
The ebb tide produced the best with the lads picking away with the Codling until slack water.
A good number of small Billet boated too.
The change of tide brought the freshening South Easterly which always spoils things and made the ride home a bit blashy!
Steve Knott from Manchester took the daily first in the competition with a Codling an ounce under 4lb. Not a big fish by any standard but it still won him the £50.00 daily prize.
Cheers

A nice day on the water yesterday on our 2nd run out in this year’s Spring competition.
We started on a wreck 12 miles North of the harbour for a handful and to be honest we only saw another 5 or 10 fish boated until we dropped on our last wreck of the day some 22 miles North. It didn’t produce heaps of fish but certainly helped in the days total.
Great crack with lovely weather again.
This weekend’s tides running at 5.7m means we will be chucking the anchor over as the drift fishing will be far too quick.
No daily prize winner yesterday but one or two nice chunky Codling. Our best of the day was Dave Sharpe’s at 6.0lbs
Cheers lads and see you all again soon.

We managed a day at sea yesterday after yet another long spell of landlubbing!
It was our first day in the Spring Competition as Saturday was cancelled for bad weather.
A regular mixed group joined us and as the tides are currently on the smallest neaps, wrecking was the order of the day.
We touched on our first one for just a handful of Codling so moved out a few miles.
All but 3 rods went straight in to fish on the first pass which was great and we picked away at it for the full morning where the lads gathered a good amount of Codling.
Just the 2 “bootlace” Ling boated with plenty of chuck backs too.
Our heaviest fish of the day was a Pollock of 5 1/2 lbs caught by Kyle Reeves from Sheffield which won the sweep and also won him the best of the day in the competition with another £50.00!
A great day with lovely weather and great banter as usual.
A couple of days off again now but hopefully back at em on Wednesday when the weather looks to be setting again.
The competition runs for 2 weeks and we still have a few days left with spaces.
Cheers

An unexpected trip out for us yesterday as we didn’t have a booking until Chris Beddard from Stockport rang me the evening before to see if we would take them which of course we obliged.
Because they were only a group of 3 we were obviously limited to where we could get to so we chose the inshore anchor fishing to which the lads were very pleased.
A young “potter” mate of mine had told me about the Codling they had been getting in the pots over the last couple of days so we headed to that area.
The lads were straight in to fish from the off until slack water where it went quiet, like it usually does.
We decided to stick with it where we were until the flood came through and on the first push of tide the rods were tapping again.
Chris, Phil and Bernie gathered around 25 fish between them with best falling to Bernie, a lovely Codling of 6lb 3oz.
The lads thoroughly enjoyed the day with us and will be back next month hopefully for some more action.
Cheers
